CXF: add SOAP header to request - cxf

Question

I tried to add SOAP header to my request via BindingProvider.getRequestContext().put(Header.HEADER_LIST, headers) but the SOAP Header is missing. My code is like the following:
Standard WebService class generated by CXF:
#WebService(targetNamespace = "...", name = "...")
#XmlSeeAlso({...ObjectFactory.class})
#SOAPBinding(parameterStyle = SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.BARE)
public interface MyService {
...
#WebMethod(operationName = "...")
public Future<?> sendAsync(
#WebParam(partName = "parameters", name = "...", targetNamespace = "...")
MyRequestMessageType parameters,
#WebParam(name = "asyncHandler", targetNamespace = "")
AsyncHandler<MyResponseMessageType> asyncHandler
);
}
Standard WebServiceClient class generated by CXF
#WebServiceClient(name = "...", wsdlLocation = "...", targetNamespace = "...")
public class MyService_Service extends Service {
...
#WebEndpoint(name = "...")
public MyService getVendorManagementService() {
return super.getPort(MY_SERVICE, MyService.class);
}
}
Class which sends my request:
#Inject
private MyService_Service myService;
public void send() {
BindingProvider port = (BindingProvider) myService.getWebEndpointPort();
port.getRequestContext().put("thread.local.request.context", "true");
List<Header> headers = getHeaders(port.getRequestContext());
Header messageIDHeader = new Header(new QName("http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing", "MessageID", "wsa"), "some_id", new JAXBDataBinding(String.class));
headers.add(messageIDHeader);
port.getRequestContext().put(Header.HEADER_LIST, headers);
MyRequestMessageType message = messageCreator.createMyRequestMessage();
MyAsyncHandler asyncHandler = new MyAsyncHandler();
((MyService) port).sendAsync(message, asyncHandler);
}
private static List<Header> getHeaders(Map<String, Object> messageContext) {
if (messageContext == null) {
return null;
}
List<Header> headers = CastUtils.cast((List<?>) messageContext.get(Header.HEADER_LIST));
if (headers == null){
return new ArrayList<Header>();
}
return headers;
}
It generates correct request but SOAP Header is missing. The request contains only SOAP Body:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
... the message is OK
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I have no idea what is wrong.
Thanks for any advice.

Now I use WebService (MyService) directly instead of getting it from WebServiceClient and it works. My send method looks like:
#Inject
private MyService port;
public void send() {
((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext().put("thread.local.request.context", "true");
List<Header> headers = getHeaders(((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext());
Header messageIDHeader = new Header(new QName("http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing", "MessageID", "wsa"), "some_id", new JAXBDataBinding(String.class));
headers.add(messageIDHeader);
((BindingProvider) port).getRequestContext().put(Header.HEADER_LIST, headers);
MyRequestMessageType message = messageCreator.createMyRequestMessage();
MyAsyncHandler asyncHandler = new MyAsyncHandler();
port.sendAsync(message, asyncHandler);
}

Another way to get the right ctx map is the following:
org.apache.cxf.endpoint.Client p =
org.apache.cxf.frontend.ClientProxy.getClient(myService);
Map<String, Object> ctx = p.getRequestContext();
ctx.put(Header.HEADER_LIST, headers);
